Dear ,
Control theory is a lot like a box of cake mix. It's dry and dusty until you add water and stir! At Quanser, our mission is to provide engineering educators with the active ingredient that turns dry, academic control theory into a stimulating, memorable, hands-on experience across a wide range of engineering applications. Our lab tools and experiments are great examples of that. Read this month's eNEWS and see for yourself.

Students view robotics as one of the most exciting engineering disciplines available to them. We're dedicated to building on their enthusiasm to help you graduate energetic and highly skilled engineers.
Sincerely,

 Build a Great Robotics Lab Incrementally |
It's simple. Start with a great foundation, then build on it step by step. Engineering faculties around the world follow that dictum and use Quanser's Omni Bundle Lab Solution and the DENSO open architecture robot, enabled by Quanser, as their basic teaching tools. This dynamic combination of robots offers benefits at the research level as well. The Omni is an inexpensive way to teach or research haptics. When you add the sophisticated, industrial-style DENSO robot to your lab, your teaching and research possibilities will expand even more.

Small Robots, Big Results
|
They say good things come in small packages and the engineering educators at Centennial College in Toronto, Canada would certainly agree. They're thrilled with a dynamic two-robot system from Quanser centered around the Omni robot and the DENSO robot. A Centennial Lab Technologist from the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Sciences told us, "The system... provides a set of teaching resources that will help students progress...". On a recent visit we got a glimpse of their lab and would like to share more on our blog. See a video of Centennial's work with two small robots.

Elevate Your Robotics Lab's Efficiency
|
Time is a precious commodity. So a teaching solution that helps them work faster and better is valuable. The Omni Bundle is designed to teach haptics and robotics simply, inexpensively and safely. Recently our engineers enhanced it to perform even better than ever. We captured a number of key improvements on our blog.
Learn how the enhanced Omni Bundle boosts efficiency.

| In Your Own Words |
"Quanser has been a valuable partner for our research and teaching in haptics and medical robotics. Their customized products have helped us rapidly bridge from theory to experiment, and from concept to implementation." Dr. Shahin Sirouspour, McMaster University, Canada |

Harvard University:
Hands-on Robotics for Undergrad Students
|
According to Dr. Wood, robotics education really succeeds when students are motivated through exciting, hands-on exercises. To ensure his course engaged his students, he actuated theory into practice.
